"I've never taken a Zumba class and Leah's being my first is definitely a great high-powered introduction. You can feel her excitement and passion for movi

ng and dancing. I felt welcomed and stress-free during her class. After a really long day at work, it's easy to feel energized and refreshed by following her steps and modifying where I can. After the workout, I shared with Leah which track I felt most excited about and she even e-mailed me afterward with that song. Definitely recommend!"

Review by Eloise

"Leah is a tremendous instructor! Her class was my first introduction to Zumba and I could not have asked for a better instructor. She is high energy, moti

vational and patient. Leah is particularly adept at teaching to all skill levels simultaneously. Her classes are so fun that you hardly realize how much actual work you're doing. I would absolutely recommend her without reservation."

Review by Sarah

"Working with Leah is the best. We hired her to do a staff training and the team raved about it. She gives all kinds of verbal and nonverbal cues through

out the class, as well as both easy and advanced move modifications so that students can tailor the workout to their level. She believes workouts should only be done if they're fun and she brings the fun! Her class is guaranteed to give you an amazing, high-energy workout. She even dressed according to our 80s theme and did an excellent job at picking music that we loved. She also did a great job at adjusting her teaching for a group of about 20. I could not more highly recommend Leah!"

Review by Bridgett

"Leah is a fantastic, high-energy teacher. Her classes provide a great workout and are always a ton of fun. Leah was great at accommodating various capabil

ity levels during her class. I would consider myself an intermediate level dancer and I felt adequately challenged and the moves were not too over-my-head. And she picks excellent music!"

Review by Kathryn

"So I took my first ever Zumba class with the lovely Leah and it was everything I hoped for and more. Leah has a very fun and energetic personality and I t

hink that is what really got me through my first Zumba class. **Also, should be noted that the songs Leah picked out were all very upbeat (because duh it's Zumba) but in particular her selection of songs were "so choice" it really made the class go by fast! If you want an awesome workout or just need a little dose of sunshine Leah is your instructor!"

Review by Mindy

"Leah is an enthusiastic instructor who always has a smile on her face and wants everyone in her class to have fun. Her upbeat personality and rhythm make

her classes more of a dance party than a workout. She represents everything a Zumba instructor should be and designs her classes for all levels and abilities. Everytime I take Leah’s class, I leave feeling happy, energized and ready to conquer the world!"

Patient and encouraging

I'm always impressed with how Jessica is patient with our 7 year old daughter and still is able to draw her out and motivate her when she is tired from school. Jessica always finds creative ways to be inspirational. Both my husband and I drive 15 miles to be able to have Jessica teach our little girl. We think she is worth it. She has been flexible and always tried her best to work within our schedule and has even driven out to our house to cover a lesson when things didn't work out in the schedule.

Wonderful teacher

Jessica is teaching piano and voice to my 10 year daughter, and I am so impressed with her skills as a teacher. She is patient, encouraging, and inspiring, and her love for both music and teaching is apparent. She is also extremely knowledgeable about music theory and uses a teaching method that's very effective and gets students actually playing music right away, without shortchanging their long term development as musicians. Jessica is a rare find, plus she comes to our house for lessons!

Jessica is great with kids and makes music so much fun!

I have two girls, ages 9 and 6. They both take piano with Jessica once a week. I can't express enough how great Jessica is with them and her ability to adjust to their ages and their ways of learning.
Jessica is so passionate about music which is demonstrated in her teaching style and of course all her education, training, and performances.
Jessica is so wonderful in her communication - showing such support throughout the lesson and has a great ability to explain the music so they understand.
My girls are very fortunate to have such a great mentor and teacher. Jessica is a true professional who is fully committed to music. We could not be happier!

This was the best workout I have ever had with Pilates reformer. It is very hard to find an in home pilates instructor. If you are lucky to get time with Carol...book it now. Make sure you have the correct type of equipment to make it worth your time and hers.

I was charged for classes that I did not take and scheduled without consent. Not very happy with the ethics and manner conducted so far.

She was an absolute joy to work with and she really knows her stuff. Very
skilled teacher - if you are looking for results from your yoga practice
Hanna should be your teacher too. I would highly recommend Hanna for
in-house yoga.
